APM Terminals, a global port operator, reports a remarkable 36% YoY growth in its real-time API data feeds, propelling its commitment to digitalization. The company has now added data sources for two additional terminals, APM Terminals Pecém in Brazil and Aqaba Container Terminal in Jordan. To promote wider adoption, APM Terminals has frozen API prices for the third consecutive year.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) play a pivotal role in enabling secure communication between applications. APM Terminals' leading APIs empower customers to extract real-time container and vessel status data directly into their internal systems, fostering better visibility and efficiency. The expanded API offerings include a new data feed—Terminal Vessel Schedule, providing customers with real-time and estimated vessel arrival/departure times.

The initiative to freeze API prices aims to encourage more supply chain partners to embrace this technology, recognizing the significant efficiency gains it can bring to the port industry. With a focus on improving connectivity, visibility, and efficiency, APM Terminals highlights the potential benefits of eliminating manual interventions and enhancing accuracy, particularly crucial for commodities with sensitive timelines, such as perishable goods.

APM Terminals Pecém in Brazil becomes one of the first terminals in the country to offer an API data feed, catering to global agricultural companies shipping thousands of containers. The move toward increased digitalization aligns with industry priorities, where efficiency gains are crucial, and it underscores APM Terminals' dedication to transforming global trade standards. The sustained growth in API usage reflects the industry's recognition of APM Terminals' ability to deliver innovative solutions that elevate efficiency and connectivity.
